After a night of hunting, some people were arrested, and the outcome was naturally predictable.
Although these people have received special training, there is no 100% guarantee that they will be able to withstand the torture. It is only a matter of time before the plan is exposed.
The top priority now is to do everything possible to advance the mission, and everything else must come after this premise.
There were only about twenty people in the yard, and they looked nervous and tired. Many of them even had injuries. It seemed that it was not easy to survive the night.
Although Li Zongsheng was young, he was the commander in this operation. When he arrived, everyone clasped their fists and saluted.
He didn't pay attention to this and asked a subordinate next to him: "How is the loss?"
The subordinate was slightly embarrassed, and then said: "Commander, nearly half of our troops were lost last night. In addition to the dead brothers, several brothers were captured and fell into the hands of the barbarians."
Li Zongsheng frowned. He had expected this situation. After all, there was quite a lot of noise last night.
But fortunately, their identities have not been exposed yet. If the barbarians regard it as an ordinary riot, then there is still time for things to happen.
He was about to speak when a voice suddenly came, saying: "Commander Li, this operation has suffered such huge losses before it even started. You must be fully responsible for this!"
Li Zongsheng turned around and saw a dark-faced middle-aged man looking at him with an angry expression. That was the deputy commander Song Kui.
With his age and qualifications, he would have been able to take the position after the previous commander left. Who would have thought that a guy like Li Zongsheng would come and climb on his head at such a young age? How could he endure this?
But it happened that Li Zongsheng was brave enough to kill the enemy and was highly appreciated by his superiors. Song Kui had no choice but to think that Li Zongsheng was a flatterer and had taken his position, and he became more and more jealous!
In fact, they did not belong to the ordinary Tang Army establishment. They mainly performed some confidential tasks and cooperated with the operations of large forces.
Although this so-called "commander" title sounds powerful, in fact it does not have much power, and it can only command dozens of people who perform tasks.
However, for Song Kui, this is enough to satisfy him! Because some of the things they did before the battle still had a great impact on the direction of the battle, this also gave the commander more say. In Song Kui's view, this can be exchanged for money and status. The capital is what he desires.
But since Li Zongsheng took this position, he didn't want to gain any benefits, but he worked more diligently on his tasks. Didn't he compare himself to this?
With Song Kui thinking this way, he became more and more dissatisfied with Li Zongsheng, and the conflict between the two became deeper and deeper.
Seeing Song Kui's provocation, Li Zongsheng's eyes turned cold and he said: "Song, deputy commander, are you looking for trouble?"
He specially emphasized the word "vice", and sure enough, Song Kui was furious when he heard it, staring and said: "What did you say!"
Li Zongsheng said: "The following is my fault. Do you want to offend the superior?"
Song Kui sneered and said: "We have caused such a big loss this time. You still have the life to say this to me after you go back!"
His words were full of sarcasm, and he obviously felt that Li Zongsheng was really going to end his game this time! After all, these people under his command have spent a lot of time and energy training, and now they have suffered so much loss that Li Zongsheng cannot resist.
Li Zongsheng's voice became colder and he said: "At least now I am still your commander. Believe it or not, I can let you stay here forever!"
Feeling Li Zongsheng's cold gaze, Song Kui couldn't help but feel a chill rising in his heart. He wanted to say something harsh, but he couldn't say it after all.
He took a deep breath and comforted himself in his heart that Li Zongsheng was just a grasshopper after autumn - he couldn't hop around for a few more days, and then he endured it and said no more.
Li Zongsheng did not continue to pay attention to him. As someone was arrested, there was not much time left for everyone, and the matter became more and more urgent.
Today's Li Zongsheng is not the young boy he was back then. After joining the army, he truly experienced the baptism of blood and fire. What he learned in the academy was truly integrated by him, and he naturally achieved great results.
Of course, this may not mean anything to Li Zongsheng. In fact, what he wants is not these, and he does not even know what he really wants. But now, he wants to really fight in the battle, to fight hard, to change something, to change the person he used to be!
After integrating the existing situation, Li Zongsheng quickly made arrangements.
Nowadays, they are seriously short of manpower. If they rush to rescue the arrested brother, they will only fall into a trap. There is a high probability that many traps have been set in those places, just waiting for them!
After last night, the women in Baiyun Temple began to be transferred. After all, some things can be done in secret, but they can never be seen in the light!
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, after capturing Jiangling City, the high-ranking barbarians still wanted to stabilize the situation in the city and build it into a stronghold for the barbarian army's eastward advance. For this reason, some things that are too dark and bloody are not allowed to appear, at least, they cannot be brought to light.
This is the opportunity for Li Zongsheng and others!
Judging from the information obtained through inquiring, the convoy escorting the women will pass through a lively market in the city tomorrow. As long as the women are exposed in front of everyone, then the riot will be easy to do!
After Li Zongsheng made the arrangements, he brought one of his confidants into Xiaoyuan'er's room, and then told the confidant the sign agreed between him and Lin Yan, asking him to inform Lin Yan of what happened here. He also wrote a note and asked his confidants to give it to Lin Yan.
Although he didn't understand who Li Zongsheng was looking for or what Li Zongsheng wanted to do, he still carefully put the note away and nodded heavily.
After the confidant went out, he left the courtyard, and the remaining people began to prepare some things that would be used later.
This is a temporary stronghold that they have arranged a long time ago, and they have a lot of things prepared, even some gunpowder, which can come in handy.
Li Zongsheng stayed alone in the room, closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking about what to do next.
Whether they are exposing the darkness in the street or rescuing their companions, they only cause a little trouble to the barbarians. At most, they cause some riots, and their real mission is what happens after the riots.
Just as everyone was preparing in full swing, a figure walked alone to a corner of the courtyard. Seeing that no one was noticing, he squatted down, flicked his sleeves, and a little mouse sprang out. Then he looked around and saw that He got in through the hole in the corner and disappeared immediately.
There was a small bamboo tube tied to the little mouse's back, which obviously contained something.
On weekdays, people always like to use birds such as pigeons and eagles to convey some news and information, which makes everyone very vigilant in this regard, but they somewhat ignore things like rats that can be seen everywhere.
After doing these things, the man turned around calmly and blended into the crowd, as if nothing had happened.
…
The search gradually stopped. After all, this kind of thing happened too many times, and the barbarians relaxed their vigilance.
In fact, Baiyun Temple this time was the secret base of a certain general in the barbarian army. Li Zongsheng's behavior undoubtedly touched his negative side, which is why the matter became a big deal.
But now it seems that the arrested brothers did not recruit anything. Otherwise, the barbarians would only become more frantic in their search for them.
Or perhaps, the barbarian army had already known their information from the people who were arrested, and they were just pretending not to know, in order to suddenly attack them head-on and catch them all when they thought they had the situation under control!
But no matter what, what needs to be done must be done. This is their task. Perhaps, it is just fate. If you embark on this path, you will be accompanied by death all the time. Advance and you will live, retreat and you will die!
When a group of carriages drove slowly on the street according to the intelligence, Li Zongsheng and others had already ambush on the road they must pass.
This place is in a market and there are many people, but it is convenient for them to hide.
Seeing that the carriage was already approaching, the people who were ambush had their hands on their weapons secretly.
Everyone was waiting for Li Zongsheng's order, but at this time he was a little hesitant. Of course, it wasn't that he was scared, but that things were a little strange because it went so smoothly!
Being in the enemy camp at this moment, it is normal for things to go poorly, but this series of arrangements is like a well-rehearsed script, and it begins to move forward step by step.
"Could this be a game that was set up in advance?" Since this idea appeared, it has been spreading crazily in Li Zongsheng's heart like weeds.
It's just that now the situation is already strong, and it is impossible to stop the action at will based on one's own guesses. That would be too childish!
Moreover, if the planned plan is not implemented over and over again, Li Zongsheng's prestige will be affected. Although he doesn't care about this, it will directly affect the mission, which he cannot accept.
Taking a deep breath, Li Zongsheng made a gesture, and then shot out a sharp arrow. Immediately after, his men came out and attacked the Nanman soldiers escorting the vehicle.
The conflict was about to break out, and the shouts of killing were loud in an instant. The surrounding crowd had long been disturbed by this sudden change, and chaos soon broke out.
There were not many soldiers responsible for escorting, and the people led by Li Zongsheng were all good soldiers. The soldiers escorted were quickly eliminated, but we only injured a few people.
Just after everyone opened the curtain covering the carriage, what came into view was an incredible sight.
Countless arrows flew out, turning some people into hedgehogs in an instant, and then all the carriages did the same.
At this moment, Li Zongsheng still didn't understand that he was being plotted by others. Just when he was about to call everyone to retreat, he found that a large number of sergeants were coming towards here. The curtains on the carriage were also opened. Every woman inside was barbarian. Soldier.
In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse. Li Zongsheng and others were attacked from both inside and outside, but they could not escape!
